I'm honestly curious nothing nasty meant  i just remember when i was a kid we got a rough collie for my nan after my grandad died and we had sunny (the collie) at home for the weekend before we took him to my nans, it was awful we all fell in love within the first day and my mum and dad had to go back to the breeder and buy the other brother that was still there
so i'm just wondering how you keep them feelings in check so that you don't end up with 100s of dogs? |
All my dogs run together

I didn't say it's gonna be easy by no means. I love each one equally. But in order "not" to have 100 or more dogs a decision has to be made unfortunately. Cammie the show bitch that will be re-homed after this next litter I love her dearly but she is a libility. She doesn't like kids and my granddaughter lives with us and I have to put her up with her around and then she doesn't like people in her territory. She can bite because she's territorial. When I do re-home her it will take time for the new owners to get aquainted with her. Once she likes you then she'll love you. It just takes awhile. She will have to go to a home with NO children. She will have to be in a home where she is the one that will be spoiled and loved. It will have to be a special person to have this special girl. I've kept 2 of my champions who are neutered and Cammie will be the first one I place. It's just like the puppies you bred and raised it's not easy placing them in pet home because I fall in love with them also it's just something that has to be done. No offense was taken and I didn't see you post as nasty

I hope I explained myself ok LOL
